Hi,
I just finish building today a Ubuntu 8.10 PC for use with XBMC (before I was using Mythtv).
My PC is connected to a receiver with a SPDIF cable. The system is configured to analog/digital output to iec958 and passthru of both AC3 and DTS.
The setup is working wonderfully with divx movies encoded with AC3 audio (already tested both 2.0 and 5.1 channels).
I'm having a problem with all movies that were encoded using MP3. If I press 'O' while watching I got lots and lots of frame drop (but CPU % is less than 20%).
My sound card is a Sound Blaster Live 5.1 PCI and is connected to the receiver with a digital optical cable.
Video card is a nVidia Geforce 5600FX connected to the receiver with a HDMI cable.
The system is an Athlon XP 2000+ (1.6GHz) with 1GB of ram.
Obs: I can play the movies mentioned without problems with MPlayer.
Thanks
